However, the clinical features of other low frequency EGFR mutations in these four exons (especially the relationship with smoking history), eg, substitutions of G719S/A/C in exon 18 and L861Q in exon 21, remain unclear. This study investigated the relationship between G719S/A/C and L861Q mutations (in exon 18 and 21) and smoking history.Methods: Specimens from 194 patients with lung adenocarcinoma were analyzed for EGFR mutations in exons 18–21 by high-resolution melting curve analysis and amplification refractory mutation technology to establish the relationship between G719S/A/C and L861Q mutations and smoking history.Results: Ninety-six of 194 tumors (49.5%) were confirmed to be EGFR mutation-positive. Among these mutations, 71 of 104 (68.3%) were from never smokers, six of 17 (35.3%) were from former smokers, and 19 of 73 (26.0%) were from current smokers (P < 0.001). The mutation rate in heavy smokers (5/23, 21.7%) was significantly lower than in light smokers (20/67, 29.9%) and never smokers (71/104, 68.3%, P < 0.001). Seven low frequency EGFR mutations (four substitutions of G719S, and G719 A, respectively, and three of L861Q in exon 21) were identified. Five of these mutations were derived from smokers (one former light smoker, one current heavy smoker, and three current light smokers). Four of these patients had been treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and all had a partial response, with median overall survival (14.5 months) and median progression-free survival (6.8 months), being longer than in patients with similarly staged lung adenocarcinoma without EGFR mutation or treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (6.8 and 3.1 months, respectively, according to data from an as yet unpublished study at our institution).Conclusion: This study provides further evidence that smoking status, include years of smoking and number of cigarettes smoked per day, plays an important role in EGFR mutation in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Five of seven specimens with G719S/A or L861Q mutations coming from smokers indicates that there may be a relationship between G719S/A or L861Q mutation and smoking history. However, regardless of the influence of smoking, the effectiveness of tyrosine kinase inhibitors was satisfactory in four patients harboring G719S/A and L861Q EGFR mutation.Keywords: EGFR, lung adenocarcinoma, G719S/A, L861Q, smoking historyWang QSMou JHYang XHe YLi ZPLuo QYLi YQLin LMa YXiao HLDove Medical PressarticleNeoplasms.
